I have been making my own internal media library using makeMKV and I would like to view the resulting video files without transcoding them further. I'm OK keeping them at the giant size right off the disk and will get a big external HDD if necessary. From a recent DVD backup I got a .mkv video file with the video codec:
H.264, 30FPF video
AC3 5.1 48000Hz
codec: mpge2video
The file is ~1.4gb for 30min video. They look flawless when played directly on the host computer, of course. However when I load into Jellyfin and watch from elsewhere, it is noticeably crappy. The video is blocky and jumpy. When I go into the Jellyfin info, it says that the stream is being transcoded due to "VideoCocecNotSupported". See picture below.
The player is a model 4802x Roku Ultra running Roku version 14.5. A quick googling shows this is the current Roku model that has been around for ~3 years. Any idea why the video stream is getting transcoded and looks bad? Is it a hardware or software thing? FWIW I had similar error messages and playback issues when I gave Plex a swing. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
